Let’s see, Memorial Day is just around the corner, so I guess that means it’s time for a spike in gasoline prices.
You can pretty much count on it.
What I did not count on was prices at the pump going up a dime over the weekend.
Did I miss something here? Can anyone explain this to me? I could of swore that late last week I was passing a lot of Wawas and other stations advertising prices at $2.05 a gallon.
Over the weekend for some reason prices spurted. This morning it will set you back $2.25 a gallon to fill up at a lot of stations.
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling gouged.
Officially, AAA reports the price jumped 12 cents over the past week.
AAA says this is a result of an improving economy, coupled with the “expectation that summer driving season will bring increased demand as motorists take to the road.”
Swell.
As of Sunday, AAA put the average price in Philly at $2.24 a gallon.
Most stations I passed yesterday were a penny higher.
I don’t get it. It’s enough to “drive” you to distraction. Or once again simply consider putting the car in the driveway and keeping it there.
Why do I think that’s not going to happen? And why do I think prices will continue to rise as Memorial Day approaches.
